VERTICAL FARMING, THE FUTURE OF FARMING: Have you ever thought, what could happen if there is no or few land left for farming? Answer would definitely be, deficiency of food. Yes, due to this deficiency of food substances, people may compete with each other and as per Charles Darwin theory “Only survival of the fittest” will be observed, leading a big question mark on the peaceful existence of Human race.

It is also been estimated that, by employing the conservative estimates to present demographic trends, the human population will be increased by about 3 billion people during the interim. As per the analysis conducted by FAO and NASA, 109 hectares of fresh land is required to cultivate crops in order to balance the food requirement, through traditional farming practices as they are practiced today. At present, around 80% of the land present in earth’s surface is

Magnetic Opportunities for Indian Pharma

Magnetic opportunities for Indian Pharma : Indian medicine companies are presented with attractive growth opportunities because of consolidation of global generics, according to Moody’s Investors Service (American ratings, research, and risk analysis firm). Drug producers here exhibit stronger business profiles compared to global peers due to their geographic diversity and strong product pipeline for developed markets, states the firm’s latest report, “Indian Pharmaceutical Companies – A Deep Dive”. The report also states that the Indian drug makers may explore and benefit from some overseas Merger &acquisition (M&A) on the back of consolidation of global generics. Large promoter ownerships may dissuade M&A activity domestically, it adds. “The global pharmaceutical industry is undergoing consolidation, driven by a desire for product and pipeline diversity, scale and pricing power,” states the report. “Historical acquisitions have been small in the Indian pharm

EFFECTIVE INDUCTION….IMPACT: Think about situation:   it’s your joining day with new employer and you are expecting that you might have an easy day of induction program and finding your feet.

GENERIC SUBSTITUTION… Generic substitution is the practice of shifting from a prescribed originator medicine product to an interchangeable medicine that consisting the same active pharmaceutical ingredient-the strength, the same concentration, for the same route of administration. The generic medicine may differ in organoleptic characteristics, labeling and packaging patterns however because of these formulation differences, the generic drug players are required to submit additional paper work to drug regulatory authorities to prove that their product is manufactured in accordance with good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and is similar or as pure and stable as the branded medicine; are generally commercialized under the nonproprietary name or could be marketed as branded generics. This week our update covers the some of the most common questions that some patient asks about generic products are following: WHAT ARE GENERIC MEDICINES? A generic product is a similar product of

Business partners to find out and select reliable testing and calibration facilities

LABORATORY ACCREDITATION: Laboratory accreditation keeps formal recognition to competent laboratories, thus providing ready solutions that means for business partners to find out and select reliable testing and calibration facilities for their needs. To maintain this recognition, the service providers re-evaluated regularly by the authorities to assure their continued compliance with set guidelines and procedures and go over that their standard of functioning being well-kept or maintained.
